I'm experiencing an issue where the Microsoft Intune Company Portal for Linux application is visible in one Azure tenant but not in another, despite seeing it in the sign-in logs of the second tenant.

What I've observed:

  • In Tenant A: The app appears normally in Enterprise applications with creation date 2/19/2025
  • In Tenant B: The app doesn't appear when searched, but I can see authentication attempts in the sign-in logs

What I've tried:

  • Searching specifically for "Microsoft Intune Company Portal for Linux" in both tenants
  • Verifying the app exists through sign-in logs in Tenant B

My goal:

I need to assign custom security attributes to this application, but I can't do this without accessing it through Enterprise applications. It's for conditional access

Questions:

  1. How can I make this service principal visible in Tenant B?
  2. Is there a way to register/expose this built-in enterprise app if it's not appearing?
  3. Are there PowerShell commands or other methods to assign security attributes to an application that isn't visible in the portal?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!App

    thank you so much for your support on this. This was super helpful however Conditional access does not exclude the app. As an alternative solution, we have explored using Privileged Identity Management (PIM). This time-limited approach temporarily excludes users from the Conditional Access policy and works as follows:

    • Minimum exclusion time is 30 minutes
    • Users must manually activate this exclusion through the Azure portal
    • Once activated, the user becomes a member of the CA exclusion group for the duration
